Visibility: A snowy 20+ feet, 20 feet in the shallows (high tide)

Butter Tart, aka Rock of Life, aka Snowball is likely my favorite dive in Browning Passage, Queen Charlotte Strait. So much life that one person can't see everything in one dive. So a few sets of eyeballs reporting finding today the following: a GPO wasting away, adult wolf-eel on the move, feisty curious orange juvenile wolf-eel, at least 10 red irish lords, Hermissenda nudis munching on hydroids, orange peel nudis, lots of little crabs, millions of scaley head scuplins, china rockfish and many other species, and so much more... all with the stunning wallpaper behind made of raspberry soft coral, yellow sponge, white plumose anemones, etc.

Magical dive!!! 😍😍😍 Found a friendly rocky on eggs, a huge GPO πŸ™ in the open walking around the beautiful reef, he even swam onto Eric's camera to check it out. After he went to sit on the wall right next to a really pretty decorated warbonnet 🐟 perched nicely on some red soft coral. Tons of jellyfish πŸͺΌ πŸ›Έ πŸͺΌ πŸ›Έ in the shallows. Had a mom and baby otter swim past the boat. 😍🦦🍼🦦 On the way back to Port Hardy we stopped by a lovely waterfall to watch a super cute bear walking along the beach. πŸ–οΈ πŸ»πŸ’–πŸ––πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸοΈπŸŒŠπŸ€ΏπŸ¦­πŸ³πŸ₯³
